This is kind of a multi-part question.
I have a bro-in-law in his mid-late 30s, who was convicted of a felony when he was 18. (I think it was B&E, burglary, Criminal trespass, something of this nature.) He had this expunged, when he was about 30. Ever since I've known him, he's been nudging me to sell him a gun. I think to myself, "Ok, it's expunged, but at the same time, if I'm not mistaken, on the BATFE paperwork, it asks 'even if expunged'." He tells me, "If it's been expunged, the court has sealed it, and it can only be viewed again per court order." I tell him, if he's sure, go to a dealer and buy one. I figure this will answer my question, if a dealer will dell him a gun with a background check, I should be ok to do it too.
So I guess I'm wondering, even if a felony is expunged, does it still show up on a federal check, can he buy a gun, and can he get a Utah CCW, with their comprehensive check, which says, "We will check juvenile and expunged records."?
